Recently I have felt the need more than ever to express my true gender identity. I appear to have embarked on a process of feminisation. I shaved my legs, arms, chest and also my head. Now my skin is smooth and I don't look greying and thin on top. I think I look younger too.
For quite a while I have found it so hard to buy male clothes, I have no interest, I need to reflect my inner self and dressing as a man may be complimentary to my physical appearance thou it contradicts my gender identity. I only want to buy female clothes or unisex clothes.
When I am working or in the community I am perceived as a man, thou more and more my clothes are female. Womens cargo pants, tee shirt, fleece, unisex shoes. It's subtle, nobody seems to notice.
At home I am free to express myself more deeply, I am single with no children, living on my own, I can wear dresses, skirts, blouses anything that makes me feel comfortable. It's therapeutic, I feel more balanced and relaxed. I feel I am being more true to my self. However thedysphoria with having a male body continues. I strongly believe with all my heart I would feel so much more natural to be anatomically female.
When I was about 8 years old I consoled myself thinking next time around I would be reincarnated as a girl........Who knows have too wait and see..
